Marco and his group chose EDOYR as their charity for the (YPI) Youth and Philanthropy Initiative project, in Grade 10. Continuing to provide support, Marco proposed EDOYR as one of the non-profit agencies that would benefit from “Dress Down Day” at Holy Trinity.

Thank you Marco and the students and staff at Holy Trinity for your community support!

“When words no longer express, music starts,” wrote Abbas Jahangiri, former owner of the el Mocambo, 12 years ago.

Jahangiri purchased the elMo in 2001 and renovated both floors of Toronto’s oldest and most historic music venue to prepare for a wide range of musical acts.

The elMo also became the number one booker for charity events and fund raisers, including EDOYR’s very own Rock for Charity and Rock for Charity 2.0, concerts where all proceeds benefited our organization. With both of these benefit concerts, EDOYR raised over $4,000.00.

Other organizations like War Child, Amnesty International, Free the Children and World Vision have held fund raisers at the Spadina Ave. and College St. location. Jahangiri is also the founder of Serving Charity, a non-profit, charitable organization that has opened orphanages, women’s shelters, Soup Kitchens, family homes schools and several other projects in eight countries around the world. It was on July 25 that the former owner of the elMo e-mailed all his musical and charitable contacts to say he was closing this chapter of his life to start a new one: A life fully dedicated to Serving Charity.

Like its former owner, the elMo has also turned over a new leaf. The venue will remain open and all shows will continue, just this time under new ownership.

EDOYR thanks the el Mocambo and Abbas Jahangiri for their hospitality, willingness and support. With Rock for Charity and Rock for Charity 2.0, both held at the historic Toronto venue, we have been able to continue to provide support for people struggling with eating disorders as well as for their families and friends.We wish Jahangiri all the best in his future endeavors. It was great working with you!

Nice beads, huh? Guests were spelling out their names and friends’ names on their bracelets. We thought that would fit nicely with our Circle of Friends theme!

Leviana (Events and Communications Coordinator) is making her very own friendship bracelet. She used the letter “L” in the centre of her bracelet. The other beads she used were purple in support of EDOYR.

A huge thank you to our sponsors!

This guy was so funny! He was sponsored by Viva/YRT and put on a great show. Fire. Magic. Laughter. Everyone was lovin’ it!

We got some great comments about this quote, so we thought we’d share it!

Allison Jorgens, Canadian author, stopped by our booth to give us a personally autographed copy of her book, “Read It With A Grain of Salt.” The message reads, “Dear EDOYR, Empower yourself to make healthful choices.” Thanks Allison!

This is the front cover of Allison Jorgen’s book, “Read It With A Grain of Salt.”

A ton of different vendors were at the Richmond Hill Public Library’s Health Fair.
